Testimonials

Before I came to camp, I never really thought science was fun or interesting at all. Thanks to you, I figured out that we depend on science and science depends on us.

StudentVista Verde School

I cannot emphasize how much I love this program. The experience is like nothing else and is such a pivotal experience for students of this age. This program is so important for them to get ready for Junior High. As long as this program is offered, I will make sure my school attends.

Linda GillenTeacherPatton Elementary

Being at this wonderful place for a week, seeing and realizing what you could do and change in society, seeing the bright candle of your life burn, and imagine what it could be…Not only did it make my dreams dear, but it was a piece of my life that I’ll never forget.
